I think some people think therapy and recovering from mental illness is that one day, you just wake up "well" again, and everything is sunshine and rainbows, and you'll never be mentally ill ever again.

When, in reality, you're often talking yourself down from a category five meltdown with the patience and trust you were never shown by anyone else.

"I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this."

You can, actually. It's going to suck, and you're not going to enjoy it. But you can do it. And one day, maybe you'll even have to heal from it like you've done with other things. But right here, right now, you can do this. You're also allowed to complain and bitch the entire time.

No one said you had to take it well.

I like how the homestuck pilot stuff is just giving everyone a rude awakening that a lot of indie creators know each other and respect each others work and that your individual cringe does not exist in a vacuum. And that at the end of the day you’re all clowns.

The "Some Questions I Might Ask of My Poems and the Poems of Others" Creatures of the Deep Poetry Coloring Page

Variety: Does the poem change, develop, progress, or simply continue? Does it surprise? Has something happened to make you feel differently?

Speaker and Audience: Who is speaking and to whom? How can you tell? Is this the voice of a beloved, a stranger, an enemy? Is the audience a friend, a nation, the future?

Precision, Economy, Word Choice: Is every word necessary? How many could be cut? Is every word effective, precise, substantial, concrete?

Structure: is the poem inevitable? Are the structures fixed or are there other directions the poem could follow or explore? Can the parts be shifted or rearranged without doing damage to the poem?

Emotion: Where is the emotional center? Is it honest emotion, melodrama, cliché?

Emotional Distance: What is the relationship between the content and the author?

Line, Stanza, White Space: Does the form fit the poem?

Content: What is the poem “about?”

Context: Does the poem remind you of other work(s)? Does it dialogue with other writers, other texts?

Authority: Does the speaker “own” the subject matter?

Necessity, Credibility, Impact: What are the issues the poem presents? Does the poem explore its issues sufficiently? Are you invested in the subject matter?

Glitches: Does anything interrupt your experience of the poem while you are reading it?

Figurative Language: What poetic devices are being employed? Are they in the service of the poem? Are they original, appropriate, effective?

Memorability: Is it memorable? Do you want to read this poem again? Why? ls it the craft that makes you return to it or is it something else?

Expectations: Does the poem do what you think poetry should do? Does the poem make you reconsider what poetry is? Should all poetry do that? Should any?

Is the poem successful? What is success?

Do y'all ever read a fic so good that it makes you want to elevate your own craft and also befriend the writer? It's almost like, "Hi! You write so well that you've inspired me to embark on a creative training arc. Also, can I yell about the character in your dms because you get it?"
